      Hi Caan, I have been considering buying your online course but I keep watching your videos that tell us how many bookies restrict betting amounts that makes it very difficult. Quite a number of years ago I bought a greyhound racing system for £5 that actually worked but I had to sit in smoke filled betting shops everyday as it was before online betting. I tried it online last year and could only get on with super low bets at around £1.50 😂 what’s the point.

    Mad to think the horse racing game can be predicted so accurately for so long. Even madder that people took his bets for so long - given that most of us have been massively stake restricted with more than 1 bookie just for having a couple of lucky horse binks in a row!

      Don't forget, this was 'way back when' in the days before the bookies cottoned on to the fact that other people too knew how to use computers! LOL

      It was all done on the tote board (parimutuel). Somehow he (and Woods) managed to overcome the 18% track take-out and make a profit on top of that. His white paper is on the web. How much they *netted* is probably still an open question, but they made a lot for sure. He's my hero :)

      @@pgeezy2396 Bill wrote a paper on the process he used. It's essentially based on an original paper from the 1980s about statistical trends in the horse betting markets and form guides. Also, for reference, it's still possible today, there's a guy in Sydney, Australia doing it. (the betting companies allow the bets via parimutuel betting, so they literally don't care if you win as they collect a percentage regardless).

    Hey mate.
    Funny you mention card counting , as I’m doing it part time.
    Your content and channel is very strong and powerful, how can I learn to become pro just like you? Do you have a course I can purchase? Or something that goes step by step ? Or are your CZcams channel good enough ?
    The reason why I wanna be very good at this is because I’m living in a country, where sports betting is tax free.
    I look forward for your answer sir.

    Bill talks about a time in Hong Kong when his model seemed to have lost it's edge. Turns out the racing club had altered the camber on one of the turns at the track and he hadn't adjusted the model for it. Now, that's track bias for ya!

      I have watched all of Bill's interviews on YT and read many of his lectures available. Bill talking about 'rolling up your sleeves' is what got me into coding up my own markets down here. I will find the reference to the track upgrade for you.
